[Feature]: Support Reusing Provider Credentials

The Feature

In today's fast-paced machine learning (ML) landscape, data scientists and engineers often find themselves juggling multiple models, datasets, and providers. One of the most tedious tasks is managing provider credentials, which can be a significant bottleneck when working with various data sources. To alleviate this pain point, we propose a feature that enables users to store and reuse provider credentials seamlessly, making it easier to add new models via the user interface (UI).

Motivation and Pitch

When working with multiple models, users often need to interact with various data providers, such as APIs, databases, or cloud storage services. Each provider requires unique credentials, which can be time-consuming to obtain and manage. The current process of obtaining and reusing keys can be quite painful, leading to frustration and decreased productivity. By introducing a feature that allows users to store and reuse provider credentials, we can significantly improve the user experience and streamline the workflow.

Benefits of Reusing Provider Credentials

Reusing provider credentials offers several benefits, including:

Improved productivity: Users can focus on more critical tasks, such as model development and deployment, rather than spending time managing credentials.
Reduced errors: By storing and reusing credentials, users can minimize the risk of errors caused by manual entry or mismanagement of credentials.
Enhanced security: A secure storage mechanism for credentials can help protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
Simplified workflow: The ability to reuse credentials can simplify the process of adding new models, making it easier to work with multiple data sources.

Design and Implementation

To implement this feature, we propose the following design:

Credential storage: A secure storage mechanism will be implemented to store provider credentials, ensuring that sensitive information is protected.
Credential reuse: Users will be able to select from a list of stored credentials when adding a new model, making it easy to reuse existing credentials.
Credential management: Users will be able to manage their stored credentials, including adding, editing, and deleting credentials as needed.

User Interface

The user interface will be designed to make it easy for users to store and reuse provider credentials. The following features will be included:

Credential storage: A secure storage mechanism will be implemented to store provider credentials, ensuring that sensitive information is protected.
Credential reuse: Users will be able to select from a list of stored credentials when adding a new model, making it easy to reuse existing credentials.
Credential management: Users will be able to manage their stored credentials, including adding, editing, and deleting credentials as needed.

Example Use Case

Here's an example use case that demonstrates the benefits of reusing provider credentials:

Scenario: A data scientist needs to add a new model that requires access to a cloud storage service.
Current process: The data scientist would need to obtain a new set of credentials for the cloud storage service, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
Proposed process: The data scientist can select from a list of stored credentials for the cloud storage service, making it easy to reuse existing credentials and simplify the workflow.

Are You a ML Ops Team?

No, this feature is not specific to ML Ops teams. However, the benefits of reusing provider credentials can be applied to any team working with multiple models and data sources.
